SiteWorx

The following Apache virtual host features are editable through SiteWorx:

Domains

The InterWorx interface allows the website owner to manage several domains from one convenient interface.

  • The Primary domain is the domain which the SiteWorx account is created with and the one under which it is listed in NodeWorx. The Primary Domain can NOT be changed.
  • Secondary Domains are domains which are added to the account.

Subdomains

Subdomains are useful when hosting multiple sites on a single domain or making a "nice" URL to a specific part of the web page

Examples:

http://my.mycompany.com -- for a client login

http://billing.mycompany.com -- for access to billing software

http://support.mycompany.com -- for access to a company's support desk system

http://client.mycompany.com -- for a client's web page if the client does not have a registered domain


Pointer Domains

Pointer Domains are domains which point to other domains.

For example

Some people purchase the .com .net and .org tld's for their domain name to maximize hits and prevent competitors from purchasing and abusing them.

http://mydomain.com ⇒ mydomain.net

http://mydomain.org ⇒ mydomain.net

http://mydomain.info ⇒ mydomain.net

Other times it is useful to have more than one similar domain pointing to the same site:

http://similardomain.com ⇒ mainsite.com

http://otherdomain.com ⇒ mainsite.com
web server queries, email, and FTP are all automatically routed to the main site.
